A computer graphics of a simulated event in which a Z’ boson is produced by e+e- collisions, in association with two muons (green line and hits) and decays into invisible particles.

The Belle II experiment\u2014an international collaboration of physicists searching for signs of undiscovered particles\u2014has published the experiment\u2019s first results in a paper selected as an Editors\u2019 Suggestion in Physical Review Letters<\/em><\/a><\/span>. The results offer physicists new clues in their hunt for dark matter, a substance believed to make up some 85% of the universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Belle II experiment, which operates at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider in Tsukuba, Japan, searched for a hypothetical new particle called the Z\u2019 that may act as a \u201cportal\u201d between ordinary matter and dark matter. Belle II finds that the data collected in 2018 shows no evidence of the Z\u2019, and sets new limits on the properties of such a particle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

KMI members play leading roles in various aspects of the Belle II Experiment. Prof. Iijima as the spokesperson of Belle II Collaboration, Associate prof. Alessandro Gaz as the Physics Coordinator, Associate prof. Kodai Matsuoka, Assistant prof. Yuji Kato, and Assistant prof. Qidong Zhou are actively involved in the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The paper demonstrates that the Belle II experiment can explore dark matter in the region not covered by other experiments.<\/span>
\nWe are just at the entrance of this exploration, and further accumulation of data will enables us to provide more significant result.<\/span>
\nWe just need more data\uff01 (Prof. Toru Iijima)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

It is really remarkable that with the tiny data set that the experiment collected in 2018, Belle II is already able to obtain interesting results on the search for the nature of Dark Matter. Of course this is just an appetizer: many more exciting results, using bigger samples and more refined analysis techniques, will come in the next months.
